Mmm.  In 1.2.x and 1.4.0,

CLI> show agi send text
Usage: SEND TEXT "<text to send>"
        Sends the given text on a channel. Most channels do not support the
transmission of text.  Returns 0 if text is sent, or if the channel does not
support text transmission.  Returns -1 only on error/hangup.  Text
consisting of greater than one word should be placed in quotes since the
command only accepts a single argument.

Guess the morale is: always check in your own version. (I wasted numerous 
hours trying to get =~ to work in 1.2.13:-(
